"Expelliarmus!" Ginny and Roman shouted, two red spell beams shot out of their wands and towards Harry who dodged out of the way of Roman's beam and swatted away Ginny's spell. Harry flicked his wrist, silently sending a pair of ropes towards the two.
Harry had spent a lot of time working on his silent casting when he wasn't practising flying, Harry had no doubt that silent casting would be a great weapon in his arsenal. Harry knew that silent casting would be something that would be learnt in sixth year but he was rather impatient, not that anyone could blame him given that he had the worst dark lord of all time chasing after him.
Ginny and Roman sent two spells at him, Harry blocked both before twirling his wand and shooting out a jet of water that knocked Ginny off of her feet, Roman looked towards her and Harry quickly took advantage of that distraction to hit Roman with a body bind, Harry followed up with a disarming spell to Ginny, sending her wand out of her hand and into Harry's own.
"Not bad." Ted said with a grin from his seat on the side of the room. He was sat with Thor perched on his head while Andromeda was sat next to him with Jet resting in her lap.
"You did all of your spells silently!" Andromeda told Harry with a grin. "That's amazing!"
"He has killed a manticore and a dragon in the same day, I would think silent casting would be a step down at this point." Roman said from his position on the floor. "By the way, can you let me go please?" He asked.
"Sure." Harry said before he raised his wand and waved it, freeing Roman before a second wave dried up Ginny.
"Thanks." Ginny said before Harry tossed her wand back to her.
"You're welcome." Harry said as Roman climbed up to his feet. "I..." Whatever Harry was about to say was cut off by the sound of a crash from upstairs. "...well, Nym's probably back." Harry shrugged before they all walked upstairs. They had barely gotten out of the basement when Mrs Weasley spotted them.
"What have you been doing? I...Ginny! Have you been using magic?!" She demanded to know upon seeing Ginny's wand in her hand.
"Yeah, I was helping Harry practise." Ginny nodded. "He does have you-know-who chasing after him you know, besides it helped me learn a lot."
"Ginny, the fighting will be left to the adults and if I catch you using magic again then I am confiscating your wand!" Mrs Weasley said in a firm voice.
"Mrs Weasley, it's fine, we were supervising." Ted responded.
"It is not fine!" Mrs Weasley hissed. "I do not want my daughter to break the law and..."
"You are literally part of an illegal vigilante organisation." Andromeda reminded Mrs Weasley, cutting her off. "Besides would you rather her know how to defend herself or would you rather be a .."
"Stupid bitch!" Tonks's voice was heard from the kitchen.
"Oh Tonks sounds upset, I don't like that." Harry frowned before walking past Mrs Weasley with the others following him. They entered the kitchen where Tonks threw a plate at a wall, causing it to smash into pieces.
"Nymphadora, I..." Andromeda began, only to be interrupted.
"DON'T CALL ME NYMHADORA!" Tonks screamed angrily, looking the very picture of rage with her narrowed eyes being the same colour as her hair which at this point was a raging red. "I..." She found herself interrupted as she was hit by a calming charm. She blinked and looked at Harry who had slowly lowered his wand.
"Better?" Harry asked hopefully.
"Better." Tonks said with a heavy breath as she sat down. "Thanks."
"Anytime, now who do we have to kill?" Harry asked, as he walked over and patted Tonks on the back.
"I lost my job." Tonks said, her voice was barely loud enough to be heard.
"You what?!" Harry, Ted and Andromeda blurted out at the same time.
"Yeah," Tonks growled, "my dream job, the job I worked so hard for and I lost it."
"Why?" Ted asked as he walked over and rubbed her back. "What happened?"
"That Umbridge bitch walked up to me and told me that I'm fired for some bullshit reason about abusing power!" Tonks snarled. "Apparently the other aurors had told her that I've been abusing my position."
"That's horrible!" Andromeda said, looking halfway between upset and angry on behalf of her daughter.
"Though of course 'Umbitch' gave me the option to keep working there if I was 'willing to help keep an eye on certain delinquents'." Tonks said while gesturing to Harry.
"She wants you to spy on me?!" Harry blurted out angrily.
"Yeah, I refused and I lost my job!" Tonks growled, images of her torturing Umbridge rushed into her mind.
"I...I am sorry, Tonks." Harry said in a quiet voice as he kneeled down in front of her. "They're doing this because of me, I..."
"Shut up, Harry." Tonks said with a roll of her eyes. "They're doing this because they're cowards, when you've been proven right then I have no doubt that I will be able to get my job back then, if I even want it back. It's fine."
"No, it's not and right now, Umbridge has made herself a spot near the top of my shit-list." Harry said, wondering if he could 'forcibly volunteer' Umbridge into practising some new spells.
"Whatever happens I am not eating that pink woman, she looks disgusting." Jet spoke up.
"Come on Nym!" Harry grinned as he swatted away a stunner before blocking her fire blast and returning fire with a water blast that Tonks vanished before sending a disarming-body bind-stunner combo at Harry. "Feeling better?" Harry asked after he easily ducked, dodged and blocked the combo.
"Yeah," Tonks nodded after sidestepping a stunner and returning fire. "thanks for helping me work this out of my system, Harry."
"It's fine, it helps me practise and helps you out at the same time which makes me feel happy so...win-win situation basically." Harry said as the two continued to exchange spells.
"Bloody Slytherin." Tonks snorted, though her words were clearly meant as a compliment.
